Man gets 23½ to 47 years for Philly shooting

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A northeast Philadelphia man has been sentenced to 23½ to 47 years in prison for fatally shooting another man at a restaurant in the trendy Northern Liberties section of the city.

The Philadelphia Inquirer said the sentencing judge Thursday rejected a plea for leniency for Steven Miller in the June 2012 shooting of 24-year-old Maurice Kimble on the patio of the PYT restaurant at the Piazza at Schmidts complex.

Miller was convicted in October of third-degree murder and firearms offenses but acquitted of first-degree murder in the shooting, which authorities said occurred after the victim made a pass at a woman Miller knew.
